Of limericks he was the G.O.A.T.
I’m sure he’s free
To write plenty
In heaven aloha dear Rico...

The hunky man with tarzan zeal 
had sexy buns made of steel   
when he walked 
the girls gawked
as they cried, Oh heh, can I feel ?...

Writing limericks is his game
Sometimes his tone
Becomes close to the bone
He is brilliant, just the same...

I’m a coqui frog from Puerto Rico.
Noisiest amphibian as you know.
I’m an inch long
With a mighty song.
My hundred decibel call scares a foe....

Aloha Rico

Rico is a fellow soup brotha
Whose limericks are all a goha
With the stroke of his pen
Comes again and again
He’ll then smile and sign off Aloha....

He’s the master of limerick quirks!
He has charmed PS with witty smirks! 
His wit, quite dry,
Hits a bullseye,
That is how Rico's wry mindset works!

No momento 
no qual
rico ou pobre,
se vê como,
somos, terra e areia, 
tomaríamos cuidados
para nunca 
sermos  
mutilados  
pelo  vento,
e sempre faríamos,
mais e mais....

On high like a dove
He wanted a wife
Who fit like a glove

She made her choice
When push came to shove
And soon came to be
Nun of the Above!

Passes without getting 
The striving results
Change totally life aspects
Future should improve someday

Rico, Connie, Milt
    their passing gives us pause

  We are all of us subject
    to universal, immutable laws

  Prayers are read
    tears shed

  Our lives here more sober
    when colleagues' are over...

Chaos In Puerto Rico

In Puerto Rico living conditions became crude;
Was without much water or enough for food;
We were bare to bone;
Out things were thrown;
All we had was Trump who us liked to delude.

A trio of guys in the nude
encountered old Polly the Prude;
they gasped as she tried
to drag them inside,
while shouting, 'I want to be screwed.'

Not the protein, dear Rico, the fat!
There’ll be no more wheat grass for Jack Sprat.
That unhappy vegan
Has gone Chrissy Teigen,
Is now off clubbing seals with a bat.

His online persona was dung
All those one-star reviews really stung
He got him an agent
improved his engagement
changed his name to Attila the Hung

There’s a version that comes in an ointment,
but go sparingly on the anointment!
The calamari squid
set you back a few quid.
Ooh, those tentacles - no disappointment!

I deplore the physician named Fauci.

His opinions are making me grouchy.

Goggles next we should wear?

In his office I'd dare

not let him observe my mere ouchie.

See, Bathsheba looks hot in the tub,
gives King David a bit of a chub.
He exclaims, “Lordy, Moses!”
then, Uriah, disposes,
and gets burned when he burns for that shrub.

I’m sitting here going quite frantic
For although it might seem sycophantic 
If it takes me all night
I’m determined to write
A Limerick Rico Leffantic

Continua

Embora o vento sopre,
o trabalho potente continua,
nunca pares de sonhar,
porque os sonhos são do ser Humano livre
Empreendendo, negociando
sempre...               
no sobe e desce
No sobe e desce
da vida ou dos negócios
pobre ou rico
grande ou pequeno,
AH!...
